Classic Confrontations: Walt Clyde Frazier vs Earl The Pearl Monroe

Very NICE video highlighting the rivalry between Earl the Pearl and Frazier the Cool.

Best Man Cave Sports: Mailweek 3/29/11 Beastly HOF Auto Mojo

Awesome mailweek this past week. HOF players galore. Even though I had to pay CSA for the Walt Frazier signing it is well worth it. He's one of my favorite all time Knick players. Just a slick player. The Andre Reed autos were a nice addition as well and the Warren Moon is just a beast. I love the Antoine Walker Turkey Red and Skybox RC autos...but the Turkey Red will be the one being slabbed.

Thursday Show-Off: 3/24/11

For this week I am going with my 06-07 Upper Deck Reflections Dual Patch featuring Syracuse Alumni Hakim Warrick and Carmelo Anthony. The card features two game used patch pieces, both beautiful with several breaks. The card is #'d 05/15 as well. This card is a fixture in the Best Sports Man Cave.

Best Man Cave Sports: Mailday 3/24/11 Hakim Warrick, Ravens Signing

Another solid Best Man Cave Sports Mailday. Can't go wrong with a beautiful 09-10 Court Kings 1/1 of my favorite all-time Orange player...Hakim Warrick. So I was thrilled to pick this up off eBay. Once again, if you live in the Maryland area, please go to Haruki Nakamura's Red Cross Relief Program Fundraiser featuring Joe Flacco and perhaps Haloti Ngata.

Best Man Cave Sports: Maildays 3/30/11 Beastly TTM Autos

Could not be any happier with the past 3 days of mail. A nice mix of HOFers, current stars, a former SU player, and Cal Ripken Jr. The autographs in the books are great looking and as stated in the video I plan on purchasing an 8x10 and having a plaque made of Cal. I'll post a video of it as soon as it is done. The Shaq return was spectacular. 4 Days!! Wowzers. It's very rewarding when you research and find your own addresses for the players, then have the success on top of it. That right there is the pinnacle of a TTM auto return.

Thursday Show-Off 3/17/11

My 3 06-07 UD Reserve Hakim Warrick Patch Cards....from the Grizzlie logo on the back of the jersey...



Bill Russell & John Havlicek

So here is the deal....

I've been in contact with Rich Altman who is a promoter that runs the Boston Show through Hollywood Collectibles. Bill Russell and John "Hondo" Havlicek are exclusive through this company. I wanted to get a deal on getting cards signed since they are smaller then the normal prints and other premium items collector's normally get signed. He was able to cut me this deal:

Bill Russell (minimum 10 cards total)

$100 per card (down from $175)

John Havlicek (no minimum)

$65 per card (down from $85)

If you want in please e-mail me at dustinmbest@live.com . I would need all cards by March 25, 2011 at the latest. Add an SASE or an extra $5 for shipping.
